Win this book!

This summer was challenging. The weather was gloomy, and so were some other things. I dropped off a lot of blogging, but now that "fall" is here, I'm hoping to come back to the swing of things! (btw, "Fall" in Los Angeles includes 90 degree temps this weekend! Eeck!)

My Tuesdays with Dorie friend Mary (such a cool name!) has given me an early 40th birthday gift of Dorie's new book! Whoo hoo! It is beautiful and I can't wait to start cooking. Then I thought, what better way to celebrate Fall, Dorie, Birthdays, Friends and all that good stuff, than by paying it forward and giving one person a copy of the book?!

To enter the giveaway (one copy of Around My French Table: More Than 300 Recipes from My Home to Yours), just leave a comment (if you aren't connected to a blog, leave your email address...and if you have a blogger account but it's private so I can't see it...leave your email address). Deadline is Thursday, September 30, 2010 at midnight PDT. Only US addresses. FTC disclosure: I'm paying for this myself.

I have just loved following your blog. As a displaced Los Angeleno, I love seeing where you are eating...especially sushi and dim sum. I wish I was as organized as you are to be able to take lovely baked goods to your colleagues. Anyway, I look forward to more cooking with you!

I chuckled over your recent post about how easy it was to grow tomatoes. The second best way to grow tomatoes is to have a spouse who loves to garden. That's how I do it!Spouse loves to cook too so I am entering so I can give this to him as a gift. He'll love it!

This looks like a great challenge! Maybe I'll join.. but I have been feeling a bit too busy so taking things OFF my plate would be a good idea. When the being busier option is to put Dorie's good food ON my plate I'm really tempted.
